No.
But it’d be funny if they did.
Zunephone, ROFL. Street view needs to be halted everywhere. Wolfram Alpha what the hell is that? I go their website and can’t even read the type it’s all grey and yellow and orange. These web developers are so stupid. Enough of Stewie pleeeze.
Pedro. Are you listening? It’s OVER for windows mobile. Its a shite product.
Maybe MS is buying RIM?
#4 It kind of makes sense that they would be interested. I’m not sure its of benefit to blackberry users. It would be nice if the blackberries could use activesynch with Exchange server, when you don’t require all the enterprise features of a BES.
Right now we have one maker of Android phones. Shortly we are supposed to have a dozen or so Andriod phones on the market. I’d think that would increase sales.
As for how much is being stolen from the music companies, most of the people downloading would not buy a fraction of what they are downloading and few of the biggest downloaders listen to more than a fraction of what they download more than once if they even listen once. They download to many songs; do the math.
Every time MS or Yahoo buy a company they kill it.
As for buying Sun’s hardware business I’m not sure there is much reason to bother unless you think you can convert them over to your hardware which leaves Hp and IBM as likely buyers.
Not sure where Cisco is going with Java but I think Jave needs to be fixed and I thought it was open source. Open Office? The data base?
#4 – qb, then MS could offer RIM jobs. (repeated from an earlier post for your enjoyment)
Zune getting aggressive and going
forbroke!FTFY

I humbly acknowledge the Buddha within.
John, you should have mentioned the latest “Mac vs PC” commercial. Which has to be a direct response to Microsoft’s series of “If you find it (a PC), keep it” Tv ads. Which only applies to a small handful of select PC shoppers, BTW. But the commercial kind of implies Microsoft might pick up the cost of a PC for many more, without any “needs” filtering. The Apple commercial has a line up of PCs (men) walking away, as the prospective buyer keeps listing each of her “needs”. The final one being “free from bugs and worry”. Which cause “PC” guy to say, “She’s yours” to the “Mac” guy,
I’ve found that by using as few of Microsoft’s wares as possible, my computer is the least vulnerable to attack by the bad guys. So I don’t use PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Word, etc. And so I don’t have to worry about patching them. Just the OS, which I could only avoid if I were using Linux or MacOS10.
I don’t have much of a problem with Google filtering out results, as I have with it NOT finding enough of them to start with. I know that there are certian items (ie. pictures) and such, out there. But when I try searching for them by filename, Google acts as if they don’t exist. And other engines do this too. So what am I doing wrong? Or are search engines made to ignore such requests for content, if websites block it? What Google needs therefore is an “unblock” filter option. Find me those jpegs or wavs or whatever. Without having to actually go thru a website’s convolution of HTML code, to see it.
I went to the Wolfram website. Even their own internal links didn’t work (Firefox with NoScript). I had to edit the URLs (W had duplicated part of the URL, like “junk DNA”) to get something that *did* work, sort of. In a moment of compassion I turned off NoScript for wolfram.com but same result.
I guess it’ll be “to (sic) hard” for me.
